Purpose: We aim to determine the current treatment patterns and recommendations among physicians for cutaneous lymphomas and to identify the types of skin lymphomas for which existing radiation regimens need improvement.

Methods And Materials: A questionnaire from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer was distributed to all members of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Tumour Group and Radiation Oncology Scientific Council. This online survey included 13 questions regarding treatment practices for patients with cutaneous lymphoma.

Background: Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCLs) are rare cutaneous neoplasms with limited literature regarding treatment options and associated treatment outcomes. This study aimed to investigate and present real-world treatment outcomes in patients with PCBCLs.

Methods: All patients with PCBCL who were treated in five major referral centers for cutaneous lymphoma in Greece over 10 years were retrospectively included with their baseline characteristics and treatment-associated outcomes collected and analyzed.

Radiotherapy (RT)-induced lymphopenia may hinder the anti-tumor immune response. Preoperative RT or chemo-RT (CRT) for locally advanced rectal cancer is a standard therapeutic approach, while immunotherapy has been approved for mismatch repair-deficient rectal tumors. We retrospectively analyzed 98 rectal adenocarcinoma patients undergoing neoadjuvant CRT with VMAT (groups A, B, C) or IMRT (group D) techniques, with four different RT schemes: group A (n = 24): 25 Gy/5 Gy/fraction plus a 0.

Article Synopsis
  • * Radiation oncologists must make tailored decisions for patient treatment, but these choices would benefit from more clinical evidence and research.
  • * The article calls for a prospective trial to better understand how different radiation doses affect patient outcomes in primary cutaneous lymphoma treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Surgery is the main treatment for early-stage lung cancer, but for patients who can't undergo surgery, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) offers a promising non-invasive option.
  • An interim analysis of a trial involving 81 patients treated with SABR showed high local control rates (100%) and minimal side effects, with only 6% experiencing non-significant lung injury.
  • The projected survival rates after 24 months were 95% for local progression-free survival and 94% for disease-specific overall survival, indicating SABR's effectiveness for early-stage lung cancer patients.
